Course Information:
NOTE: EVENT CAP - 600 RUNNERS
Located in the heart of northeast Indiana, Columbia City is a small-town community with true Hoosier values. It's a community rooted in its agricultural heritage, strengthened by its commercial and residential development, and proud of its hometown heroes.
In honor of those heroes and servicemen and servicewomen throughout the state and nation, the Columbia City Parks and Recreation Department, Time-to-Run professional chip timers, and long-time race director Gary Bird have teamed up to launch the second annual Veterans Marathon, Half-Marathon and 5K on November 13, 2010.
The course is run on 98% paved roads thru the countryside. Runners will start together at the west intersection of Chauncey and Van Buren Streets in front of Ball Furniture on the northwest side of the Courthouse Square downtown.
Runners will go east on Van Buren, cross the Blue River and turn right onto Tower View Drive.
Just before the Mile-2 mark (aid #1 and #6), the course heads east on County Road 100S to Williams Drive, left on Business 30 and then takes a sharp right turn onto Paige Road.
Runners then angle left onto Raber Road (aid #2 and #5), then right onto 300 S. just after Mile-6 for a triangle loop on to Keiser Road and back to Raber Road (aid #3 and #4).
The course then heads back into town on Raber Road, turn left onto Swihart (aid #2 and #5), right onto Ohio Street, right again onto Business 30, then left onto Tower View (aid #1 and #6).
After a short distance on Tower View Drive, runners head west onto Hanna Street, passing Mile-12, and then right onto Whitley Street (aid #7) and then left onto Van Buren, left onto Chauncey and then left onto Market to the Half-marathon finish line on the south side of the Courthouse Square on Market Street in front of the Sheriff's office.
